Things I'd do if I Ever Became an Evil Overlord...

If you've got news or an event coming up, drop me a mail with the info and I'll spread the word


Welcome to the Film Buffs' Forecast Web Site. Based on the long running radio show on 3RRR (102.7 FM) in Melbourne, Australia, Film Buffs' is a show for in-depth information about what's happening in the world of movies.

Broadcasting every week on Saturday afternoon - midday-2pm - and on the net around the world - we have the latest release information on new films coming to Australian Cinemas, Australian films in development and/or production, video releases, interviews and reviews.

Anyone who has a movie related question can e-mail us at and our resident film historian, Paul Harris (with a little help from the rest of the gang) will bend his brain to the task of finding out even the most obscure bit of information. If by some strange tear in the space/time continuum we can't answer the question, then we will put the question out on-air and wait for someone in the rest of the world to answer it. 

This site is the place to find archived interviews from the show, results of our annual listeners poll on the films of the year and information about what's coming up on the show each week - along with web links that we give out on the show. We have a Film Buffs' mail list that you can subscribe to, which delivers all this info right to your Inbox. Fill in your details in the box on the left and subscribe now.
